A jnd is different from an absolute threshold because a jnd depends on __________.
A) proportional rather than absolute differences
B) distal rather than proximal differences
C) absolute rather than proportional differences
D) proximal rather than distal differences
Jnd
The minimum difference in stimulation that a person can detect 50% of the time, also known as the just noticeable difference.
Absolute Threshold
The minimum intensity level of a stimulus required for a person to detect its presence at least half the time.
Proportional Differences
Variations that are relative to the size or significance of the items being compared.
- Clarify the notions of absolute threshold and difference threshold, including their relevance in the context of sensory perception.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A jnd (Just Noticeable Difference) depends on proportional differences rather than absolute differences, whereas an absolute threshold is the minimum level of stimulus intensity needed to detect a stimulus at least 50% of the time.
